Tough, Powerful, Reliable TOUGH, POWERFUL, RELIABLE Disc Brake Rotor Catalogue 2012 4WD/SUV “Our total commitment to safety, service, supply, value and support is what separates us from the rest” Phillip Joseph Managing Director Mark Joseph Sales & Marketing Director (USA) “From cast iron to the finished product – total control” DBA XG-150 Cast Iron After decades of design and development with race teams around the world, Disc Brakes Australia developed a proprietary cast iron ( XG-150 ) for use in all of it’s premium performance disc brake rotors. This specially formulated iron is rich in carbon and alloyed to produce excellent thermal characteristics, which is a key factor in the production of the casting, combined with our patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation design. With it’s supersaturated solution of carbon in an iron matrix, the excess carbon precipitates out in the form of graphite flakes. The morphology of these graphite flakes provide excellent thermal properties, increasing the thermal shock resistance and allowing it to survive rapid thermal cycling with core-heat levels of approximately 700oC and above. Coupled together with DBA’s TSP™ process, where the cast iron is stress relieved during the manufacturing process; the XG-150 cast iron structure is ideal for heavy braking and perfect for motorsport applications.

It was the only battle of a three-year civil war that left too many dead and the survivors, shattered. During this period of unrest, from 840-843, an aristocratic woman, Dhuoda, endured the most difficult years of her life. The loyalty of her absentee husband, Bernard of Septimania, was being questioned by one of the three kings fighting for an upper-hand in this bloody civil war. To ensure his loyalty, his and Dhuoda’s 14-year old son, William, was to be sent to King Charles the Bald as a hostage.

Bachrach 00 Charlemagne’s Health in ‘Old Age’: Did It Affect Carolingian Military Strategy? 00 11 During the first thirty-three years of his reign as king of the Franks, i.e., prior to his 54 coronation as emperor on Christmas day 800, Charlemagne, scholars generally agree, pursued a successful long-term offensive and expansionist strategy. This strategy was 2020 aimed at conquering large swaths of erstwhile imperial territory in the west and brin- ging under Carolingian rule a wide variety of peoples, who either themselves or their regional predecessors previously had not been subject to Frankish regnum.1 For a very long time, scholars took the position that Charlemagne continued to pursue this expan- sionist strategy throughout the imperial years, i.e., from his coronation on Christmas Day 800 until his final illness in later January 814. For example, Louis Halphen obser- ved: “comme empereur, Charles poursuit, sans plus, l’oeuvre entamée avant l’an 800.”2 F. L. Ganshof, who also wrote several studies treating Charlemagne’s army, was in lock step with Halphen and observed: “As emperor, Charlemagne pursued the political and military course he had been following before 25 December 800.”3 In a similar vein, Ferdinand Lot made clear that Charlemagne continued his previ- ous expansionist war aims and divided the responsibilities for carrying out his impe- rial strategy of expansion among his three sons. Lot observed: “Il laisse ce soin à ses fils: Charles, l’ainé, lutte contre les Slaves; Pépin, roi d’Italie, contra les Avars...; Louis bataille dans la Marche d’Espagne.

  • Early Pueblo Responses to Climate Variability: Farming Traditions, Land Tenure, and Social Power in the Eastern Mesa Verde Region
    EARLY PUEBLO RESPONSES TO CLIMATE VARIABILITY: FARMING TRADITIONS, LAND TENURE, AND SOCIAL POWER IN THE EASTERN MESA VERDE REGION Benjamin A. Bellorado and Kirk C. Anderson Abstract Maize agriculture is dependent on two primary environmental factors, precipi- tation and temperature. Throughout the Eastern Mesa Verde region, fluctuations of these factors dramatically influenced demographic shifts, land use patterns, and social and religious transformations of farming populations during several key points in prehistory. While many studies have looked at the influence climate played in the depopulation of the northern Southwest after A.D. 1000, the role that climate played in the late Basketmaker III through the Pueblo I period remains unclear. This article demonstrates how fluctuations in precipitation pat- terns interlaced with micro- and macro- regional temperature fluctuations may have pushed and pulled human settlement and subsistence patterns across the region. Specifically, we infer that preferences for certain types of farmlands dic- tated whether a community used alluvial fan verses dryland farming practices, with the variable success of each type determined by shifting climate patterns. We further investigate how dramatic responses to environmental stress, such as migration and massacres, may be the result of inherited social structures of land tenure and leadership, and that such responses persist in the Eastern Mesa Verde area throughout the Pueblo I period. Resumen La agricultura de maíz depende de dos factores ambientales primarios: precipitación y temperatura. A lo largo de la región oriental de Mesa Verde las fluctuaciones de estos fac- tores influyeron dramáticamente en cambios demográficos, patrones de uso de la tierra así como transformaciones sociales y religiosas en las poblaciones agrícolas durante varios momentos clave en la prehistoria.

Despite extensive advances in scholarship since 1900, medieval his- torians continue to accept and repeat this revisionist position, a position that is methodologically jejune and that almost completely ignores the social dynamics of millennial beliefs.
